Run For The Zoo

For decades, runners of all levels and abilities have participated in a charity event to support Lincoln Park Zoo. Athletes can engage in a chip-timed competition across U.S.A. Track & Field-certified courses. Families are welcome to enjoy a fun run or walk suitable for everyone, while young participants can tackle the Kids' Course, featuring a playful obstacle setup. The route circles through and around the zoo, offering stunning views of Chicago's skyline, Lake Michigan, protected natural areas, and the zoo's animals, along with enthusiastic spectators.
